Corned beef pie is a British pie containing corned beef, onion and often thinly sliced, cubed or mashed potato. It can be eaten hot or cold, making it a suitable common picnic food and also a 'winter warmer'. The corned beef from which the pie derives its name is tinned corned beef (Bully beef). The pie is often constructed with a shortcrust or other mechanically stable base crust and a flaked pastry top. An American version from 1970 included only a base crust.^[1]

Allegedly in Australia, corned beef pie (generally with potato and tinned corned beef) is one of the few exclusively and iconic British foods consumed at picnics and similar events, being almost unknown to any group except British expatriates, being especially favoured by Scots.^{[citation needed]}
